movie howl: that's my girl! sophie you're hair is so pretty, i want to protect you and love you forever

book howl when sophie wants to clean his room:

[cezaris]

❝    i do enjoy working at cesari's. mrs. cesari is quite funny.   ❞ and it's a fantastic place to meet a possible wealthy husband, though she'd keep that bit to herself. 𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗔 𝗕𝗔𝗦𝗞𝗘𝗧 𝗢𝗙 𝗦𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗧𝗦 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗 she'd brought from the pastry shop, she pours the two some tea. ❝    now tell me, @agecurse how is my future brother-in-law doing ?   ❞

[agecurse]

“   ha  !      'future brother-in-law'  ,      indeed      —      howl would sooner colour his hair as red as mine than wed me  ,      i fear  .   ”      it feels odd to be served so  :      no food would find its way onto the castle's table without her hand  ,      though it disappears without her help come mealtime  .      “   but he is well  :      as are michael and calcifer      —      though he still likes to complain about his place in the hearth  ,      as if that is not now entirely his choice  .     i am glad to hear that you enjoy your work  :      are you treated well by the customers  ?   ”

@cesarihatter your sister shows up one day looking like this wdyd

[penddraig]

❝    particularly malevolent ?    ❞    now that makes him laugh :   a dreamy sort of laugh that speaks to his particular distractions at the moment.    ❝    will you quell your overactive imagination ?   bothersome old woman,   unruly sophie.   it has nothing to do with calcifer.   he can take care of his malevolence himself,   as far as i’m concerned.   he’ll survive.   and if he doesn't,   we will both know about it,   and i'll take us there before he can bother to kick the bucket.    ❞    he wants to hurry them both along.   so he does,   tugging at her arm and quickening his pace into a trot,   just slow enough so that he doesn’t have to start dragging her along.   the main road lingers just another block away,   opening into a sunlit square,   where most folks strive to walk or drive their daily commutes.    ❝    you won't pull it out of me.   i refuse to tell you.    ❞

[agecurse]

she  considers  at  first  refusing  to  continue,    instead  planting  her  feet  and  standing  her  ground  until  he  relents    —    bothersome,    unruly  sophie,    is  she ?          but  he  whisks  away  at  quite  a  pace,    pulling  her  along  on  his  arm .        “    then  i  shall  not  give  you  the  satisfaction  of  wagering  a  guess .    ”        she  retorts  with  a  slight  shortness  of  breath  at  the  hurry .        “    i  am  sure  it  will  be  quite  dull,    besides:    i  think,    actually,    that  you  may  be  losing  your  edge  with  these  surprises .    ”

[penddraig]

well,   it can never be said that sophie doesn't have an overactive imagination.   he knew that :   of course he's always known that.    ❝    oh no,   no.   nothing as evil as that.   i reserve such evil undertakings only on my own.   i can't have you thinking less of me for that.    ❞    but two can play at that game.   if his imagination weren't as grand as sophie's,   he would never have gotten to where he is now !   still,   he refuses to tell her exactly where he's bringing her,   instead tightening his hold on her arm and guiding her along past the first long row of buildings.    ❝    why does it not surprise me that that's the first thing that runs through your mind ? you have a low opinion of me even now !    ❞

[agecurse]

“    and we  cannot  have  the  fine  ladies  of  market  chipping  thinking  you  are  anything  less  than  a  perfect  gentleman .    ”        when  first  they  had  walked  together  so,    arm  in  arm  and  matching  strides,    she  had  felt  utterly  helpless  and  frightened;    now  she  feels  strength  and  confidence  radiate  from  her  core,    met  and  doubled  by  howl's  presence    —    there  is  nothing  that  they  could  not  conquer  together .        “    well,    given  how  secretive  you  can  be,    dearest,    what  else  am  i  do  to  but  fill  my  mind  with  the  possibilities ?          if  it  is  not  a  serpent  then  perhaps  it  is  a  great  giant  whose  gold  you  must  steal,    or  maybe  it  is  something  for  calcifer ?          he  has  been  looking  particularly  malevolent  these  last  few  days .    ”

[penddraig]

@agecurse. the  proffered  arm  provokes  a  smile .        “    are  you  to  be  my  escort  this  evening ?    ”        each  stride  clicks  upon  the  floorboards  as  the  young  maiden  takes  her  place  beside  the  wizard,    her  hand  tucking  neatly  into  the  crease  of  his  elbow,    the  other  resting  upon  his  upper  arm .          dark,    warm  eyes  peer  through  strands  of  silver  hair,    up  into  his  beautiful,    sparkling  green  gaze .        “    and  may  i,    at  long  last,    know  to where  we're  headed ?          or  are  you  determined  to  torment  me  with  suspense ?    ”

❝    although you flatter me,   i know your ways.   so i will continue to torment you.   i do so love to listen to your guesses.   they are the best part of these evenings.    ❞    he laughs softly,   and rather dreamily,   and leads her towards the door.   a quick twitch of his finger ensures the dial is pointed yellow-down,   toward market chipping.   another,   and the door opens for them both,   and he guides her the rest of the way outside and into the early evening sun.   as they walk,   he makes certain to stay nearly glued to her side,   his face slightly turned toward her,   gaze on the ground ahead.    ❝    you won't hate it.    ❞

[agecurse]

“    i  would  like  very  much  to  believe  that .    ”        it  is  as  entrancing  as  ever  to  witness  his  magic,    minute  though  it  may  be .          with  a  creak  the  door  gracefully  pulls  itself  aside  and  market  chipping  sprawls  out  before  them    —    and,    with  only a  step  over  the  threshold,    the  pair  cross  countless  miles  in  a  single  stride,    and  continue  on  as  though  everything  were  perfectly  normal .        “    hmm,    allow  me  to  guess,    since  you  claim  my attempts  spark  such  joy .          are  we  off  to  seek  the  venom  of  some  ancient  serpent  for  one  of  those  spells  which  color  your  hair ?    ”

[agecurse]

[ give ] for your muse ( howl ) to offer mine ( sophie ) their arm 

the  proffered  arm  provokes  a  smile .        “    are  you  to  be  my  escort  this  evening ?    ”        each  stride  clicks  upon  the  floorboards  as  the  young  maiden  takes  her  place  beside  the  wizard,    her  hand  tucking  neatly  into  the  crease  of  his  elbow,    the  other  resting  upon  his  upper  arm .          dark,    warm  eyes  peer  through  strands  of  silver  hair,    up  into  his  beautiful,    sparkling  green  gaze .        “    and  may  i,    at  long  last,    know  to where  we're  headed ?          or  are  you  determined  to  torment  me  with  suspense ?    ”

accurate howl's moving castle film adaptation but it's filmed like a mockumentary

[daffodil--lament]

howl [interview while he's messing with potions in his shed]: what do i think of sophie? well. she's my cleaning lady. she cleans a lot of stuff. she cleaned my bathroom the other day. i hate it when people touch my stuff. for example one time michael came in and tried to do a spell but he moved the sulphur so i accidentally used dried lemon zest instead and the entire shed blew up. i lost both my eyebrows and calcifer was sick for three days. i cried for weeks. magic is very touchy stuff, you know. a lot of people don't realize how careful you have to be. one time -

michael: if you ask howl any questions about sophie or how he feels about her he just slithers out of them. i ask him if he likes her cooking and he gives me more chores to do. i don't do them, obviously. that's sophie's job
